(a) Any person, upon written request and as provided in this section, may obtain reasonable advance notification of all meetings at which any specific type of public business is scheduled to be discussed.
Such written request shall be filed with the Clerk of Council and shall specify the person’s name, the address(es) and telephone number(s) at or through which the person can be reached during and before or after business hours, the specific type of public business the discussion of which the person is requesting advance notification of, the Municipal body that is the subject of the request and the number of calendar months (not to exceed 12) which the request covers. Such request may be canceled by request from such person to the Clerk of Council.
Each such written request shall be accompanied by cash, or a check or money order payable to the Village, in the amount of four dollars ($4.00) for each month covered by the request, which amount has been determined by Council to represent a reasonable fee to cover costs of providing such advance notification.
Such requests may be modified or extended only by filing a complete new request with the Clerk of Council. A request shall not be deemed to be made unless it is complete in all respects and unless such request can be conclusively relied upon by the Village, the Municipal body that is the subject of the request and the Clerk of Council.
(b) The Clerk of Council shall give such advance notification under this section by written or oral notification, or both, as the Clerk of Council determines. The contents of a written notification may be a copy of the agenda of the meeting, and the written notification may be accomplished by providing copies of the agendas of all meetings of the Municipal body that is the subject of the request for notification provided for in this section.
